Re: Not Convinced
Robert, I have the "Atlas Manual of Lathe Operation". This is the beat up manual I made reference to earlier. The reprint date on it is 1961. It does not include the 10", just the 12" and 6", as far

Re: Not Convinced
Thanks, Robert. "How yours lost those parts we will probably never know." I will never know, but I have a strong suspicion. My friend's father was also a machinist and I suspected he inherited (not by

Re: Not Convinced
Thanks, Carvel. Yes, I knew the countershaft arrangement is homemade. It is because of this that I am going to have to redo what he did to make room for the back gears when I get them (which should

Re: Not Convinced
If you look at any motor pulley drawing other the MK-II from any decade, they are all 2-step. Unlike your setup, the large 2-step pulley on the countershaft is outboard of the bearing. Someone at the

Robert and friends, I would just like to point out that this is only valid for the original Atlas ¡°Home Market¡± ( smile ) A four pole motor will run at 1750 rpm on a 60Hz ( c/s) supply as found in

Re: Not Convinced
The Atlas 10¡± and Atlas built 12¡± came with the same 16 RPM list. As I said before, what surface speed you need to be running depends upon three things ¨C diameter of the work piece, material and

Re: Not Convinced
You are correct in saying that the surface speed is important when machining on a lathe. But surface speed depends upon spindle RPM and diameter of the part. It has nothing to do with what the swing

Re: Not Convinced
Stan, Although the 4-step cone pulley on your shop-made Countershaft assembly looks original, and probably is, the slightly larger single step pulley next to it on the countershaft hanger assembly

Re: Atlas MF horizontal mill, power feed gears
Thanks, Robert. I've downloaded it also, as I also have an MF milling machine. On the 32" TV I'm using as a monitor, it is sharp and readable. Bill in OKC

OK. Best that I could do within the constraints of 8-1/2x11 was 150% enlargement spread over two pages. Go to the group¡¯s site on groups.io. Go to Files. Go down to 26 Manuals, Atlas or

Re: Not Convinced
Then 2072 should be your max speed, and no need to loosen or tighten bearing caps. Should make it easier, anyway. I'm not envying you trying to restore it to original condition, but ebay has a lot of

Re: Not Convinced
Don't forget that money was worth more then, and harder to come by. My mom bought a 1965 Mustang for about $2500 in 1965, IIRC. I was about 10. There was a gas war going on between the gas stations

Larry, that is essentially the chart that I described on page 47 in the manual for my 10F/TH42. There is no chart like that in the Sears Master Craftsman manual I have. Page 47 in that book is blank

Re: Not Convinced
Stan, I don't see where you've mentioned the type of bearing you have in your lathe. That can make a difference. I have what Robert tells me is the correct manual for my TH42, with Timken bearings. On
